On October 20th - 24th, 2008, over 100 forest-related events were organized in
30 countries to celebrate the first European Forest Week. At regional level, a
concentration of various events was organized jointly by the UN Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE),
the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE) and
the European Commission at the FAO headquarters in Rome on 21-24 October. The
events were built around the 66th session of the UNECE Timber Committee and 34th
session of the European Forestry Commission of FAO, participated by more than
400 participants from 45 countries. The purpose of the European Forest Week was
to increase the visibility of forests and the forest sector, and raise awareness
